PROBLEM: only import some video's ? why ?

Hi..
I have a problem with importing videoclips in MPEG (taken with digitalt
camera) to Windows movie maker. But only some... it comes with the error:

''Fil C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxxx\Document\photo\2007-07
(jul)\HPIM2394.MPG is not valid, because it does not cotain informations.''.
???????

I have tryed to go under properties in the file, and filled in some
information - but that doesen' help .
I have tryed to see it there was any differnce in the films it imports and
the ones it doesen't. can not tell the difference - It is not because the
films are long - from 5-20 sec. - even a film on 5 sec. - it doesen' want to
import.

I don't know why some are ok and some not ????

need the movie maker, to be able to cut end edit film for my homepage and
for emails.

does anybody have a solution to my problem with Movie maker ??
perhaps know of another free software I can download?- please help ...
thank you so much

MM is not designed to work with mpegs, so converting them to wmv would make
it easier to edit them.

There are several apps that will do that for you here
